Today, Tukaram’s son studies agriculture in college. But his real textbook? A worn copy of "The Secret of Zero Budget Natural Farming" , passed down like a heirloom. On the last page, Palekar has handwritten in one edition: “This book is not to be kept on a shelf. It is to be buried in the field. Let the termites read it first.”
Tukaram reads by lantern light. Palekar’s voice leaps off the page: “Don’t ask the soil what it can give you. Ask what you have stolen from it.”
Agricultural scientists call Palekar’s books “unscientific.” But Tukaram holds "Zero Budget Natural Farming: A Myth or Reality?" —a direct challenge to the establishment. He reads aloud to his wife: “Nature never borrowed money to grow a forest.”
